That's what you get from going to bed early: up at the crack of dawn

Hey, I can't help being a non-believer; it's in my DNA! Ahum. Writer Vladimir did give his own -wishful thinking?- interpretation of Dean Hamer's original research. Remember Dean? The guy who discovered the "gay"-gene Xq28.
What can I say about this? Ehm. I think I'm gonna keep my mouth shut - for now.

I finished 'What Is The What' by David Eggers.
Quote: "I alternately wanted to be close to her, to have her always within sight, and then, a moment later, to exist in a world where she did not. It seemed the only way that I might be able to concentrate again."
Before you misunderstand: it's not a romance novel, but the autobiography(!) of Valentino Achak Deng from Sudan who tells about growing up during the civil war and living in a refugee camp. His view of the world is very confrontational.
The book is just as gripping as David's own autobiography 'A Heartbreaking Work Of Staggering Genius'. Both books are highly recommended: go, read!

Hee. Stupid people make me laugh.

And oh, that sounds interesting - I put both of them on my reading list ;)! I have a penchant for autobiographies so it sounds right up my alley.

And there are so many of them around;)

I have to warn you about David Egger's first book: A Heartbreaking Work Of Staggering Genius broke me. It truely lives up to its title. It is devastating and beautifully written. Get supply of hankies and comfortfood.
